About the workshop

Goal of this workshop is to discuss various aspects of sustainable use of biomass in Chile and beyond. This includes – but is not limited to – the assessment of sustainable biomass potentials, current and emerging conversion technologies as well as use concepts, in particular those dealing with the challenges regarding biomass logistics due to biomass characteristics (high water content, low bulk density). Moreover, future research topics, such as the social dimension of biomass use and the current German-Chilean project SeMoBioEnergy will be presented.

Besides technical discussions, the workshop offers a platform for exchange with regard to biomass use in Chile, in particular between Chilean and German researchers as well as other professionals from politics, administration and the
industry. The idea of partnering and cooperation between Germany and Chilean biomass experts is at the core of the workshop.
